2012 Goals: Organization

Instead of just rattling off my goals for 2012 in one post, I'm going to do individual posts on each and then a summary post which includes how I did with my 2011 goals. My goals fall into four categories: Research, Writing, Organization and Wild Card. The inspiration for this, as was the case in 2011, was the We Tree blog.

My Organization Goal:
I spent 2011 purging papers I didn't need. 2012 will be the year of purging periodicals I no longer need.

I have tons of magazines and newsletters that I can part with. However, I need to copy the articles I'm interested in keeping and go through certain periodicals from beginning to end to see if I want to save the whole issue or not. Then I need to find someone to take what I'm willing to part with. My local library and genealogical society are options I am going to look into.

About

I'm a 20-something, long-time genealogy enthusiast from Northern California. My paternal ancestry is mostly concentrated in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Ontario, Canada. On my mother's side, I am a 6th generation Californian, with ties further back to many of the lower 48 states.
